@Pj1 I have pre-ordered two of these as well as I think that it may be a highly sought-after item eventually.
When this is released, my sealed version of this item is going in the storage area with my sealed Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition.

@samuelvictor I hope you have managed to get the bundle with the 8-Bit Mario Plush as that has already sold out.

@crimsontadpoles I have always had a tradition of getting both on the release date and then I would get the inevitable third version.

Pokémon Eclipse would be a very good name for the third version of these games.

@Peterjr1 I would recommend that you pre-order both copies first of all as you do not get charged upon pre-ordering and then it will be secured for you so that you can easily cancel them both or one of them before it is released and you are charged £44.99.

@AcidGhost How did GameSeek get the Pokémon GO Plus?
It was stated as a Nintendo UK Official Store Exclusive from the email message that I received.

@ThomasBW84 The Pokémon GO Plus has now become unavailable again.

I have one pre-order in from the first wave and now one pre-order in from the second wave.

@Acein210 The Nintendo UK Official Store will not ship outside of the UK unfortunately.

That is a terrible release date...

Myself and more then likely other people, was really hoping to have this product over Summer 2016 to go exploring around.

I am looking forward to getting the Pokémon GO Plus device.

I am going to pre-order this game and keep it new and sealed if it is purely going to be physical in just Europe.

@DoctorOverbuild I want to eventually get a "specific" quantity of this Pokémon GO Plus device...

The TL;DR version of this is that I have a total of 214 amiibo.

Here is my entire amiibo collection as of today.
I have been collecting the amiibo figures with a perfect record of getting them on launch date without fail since November 2014.

@Megumi_Sagano I see you are a Moderator. I honestly never even knew what those stars were referring to before I hovered my mouse over them. XD

@Damo Oh lol Yeah I see what you mean. Never mind then.

@Damo Alright. No worries then.

@Damo The eBay link takes you to All Categories page. I would use this link in your article to replace that link.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Pok%C3%A9mon+GO+Plus&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XPokemon+GO+Plus.TRS0&_nkw=Pokemon+GO+Plus&_sacat=0

I have pre-ordered one of these Pokémon GO Plus devices as I like the concept behind Pokémon GO. However I probably won't be putting any cash into the actual app itself as there has to be ways to get more Poké Balls without spending £1.00+.

@dadajo Yeah. Nintendo UK Official Store does state that it is Temporary Unavailable and so it is not permanently gone.

@Damo Please add this to your article. The Pokémon GO Plus is not completely out of stock on Nintendo UK Official Store as the status of it is only Temporary Unavailable.

I am perfectly patient in waiting for Pokémon GO.

I would rather wait for my pre-order of the Pokémon GO Plus to be released and have an optimised version of the Pokémon GO app at the end of the month or whenever than be impatient and install a buggy version with potential viruses from sources other than the Google Play Store due to having to sideload it.

@Boidoh Yes... Yes it is!!!!!
Paper Mario Sunshine confirmed!

@pabloff9 A currency exchange states 34.99 GBP is 148 BRL.

So you are still getting a roughly better deal than than the usually shafted UK regardless.

@Mogster The network I am with allows it to keep going as it is a recurring bill and just puts extra on top of the bill unfortunately.

The other reason I cut it off at 2.5GB is because that 500mb is a good amount before the limit and different things use differing data amounts. So to cut it off then is a perfect idea.

I would rather it cut off at 2.5GB than see it cut off at like 3.01GB as that would instantly be classed as "extra use" regardless...

Mostly everyone seems to bash the Nintendo Wii U, but I really do enjoy having a Nintendo Wii U.

I am going to wait until the app is officially released on Google Play before I download Pokémon GO.

Now does anyone know whether I am fine with 3GB of mobile data for Pokémon GO?

It is actually only 2.5GB as I have set my phone to disable data as soon as 2.5GB of 3GB is reached.

@Heiki Ah yes... It seems to be solely just Nintendo then...

@Heiki Because, honestly, that would make too much sense. XD
No offense, but some companies don't have common sense...

@DoctorOverbuild Keeping it sealed? How did you know? heh...

Awww I am sure that yours will be delivered eventually. You cannot get screwed over this time as you didn't order it from GAME.

@DoctorOverbuild Have you unboxed your copy yet?
Take a guess as to what you think that I am going to be doing with my Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE: Fortissimo Edition... XD

@JaxonH I know you were just having fun.

@JaxonH

🐇🐇 Alundra-1998 and all the people who ordered the same day that it was made available to preorder.
🐇 DoctorOverbuild
🐢 Everyone Else

I have had this preordered since the 27th of April.

Order Date: 27/04/16
Items: 1
Order Status: Despatched
Cost: £64.99

@DoctorOverbuild I think it might be a glitch personally. It has happened on the Nintendo UK Official Store before.

I am really looking forward to all of the following announcements coming out that were announced before and at E3.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Archer Link amiibo
Horseback Link amiibo
Guardian amiibo
Wario amiibo
Waluigi amiibo
Daisy amiibo
Rosalina amiibo
Boo amiibo
Donkey Kong amiibo
Diddy Kong amiibo
Pokémon Sun
Pokémon Moon
Paper Mario Colour Splash
Mario Party Star Rush

I politely refuse to call the Paper Mario game Color Splash as I am not from America.

@Sakura How much data does it use?

I might have to keep my one new and sealed if it uses any more than 3GB of data...

I was one of the ones that sent this tip into Nintendo Life.
I think that @DoctorOverbuild was another one that I know that has sent the tip in.

I was able to pre-order this Pokémon Go Plus at about 9.26pm which was exactly two minutes after it became available.

@ricklongo Because it is the Way Forward. See what I did there?

Only joking... I have no idea why they chose that option...

@SheldonRandoms I know right? This will be my fourth Rosalina amiibo if I purchase two of them.

@Hassman786 Judging by the Official Pokémon website, we are getting Shaymin next month and Arceus in July.

@dean87 The Europeans barely got the chance to get the Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition as well.

@G0dlike I see. Very nice indeed! According to my Amiibo Alerts, I only have 90 individual UK PAL amiibo...

@G0dlike You don't have any problems unless you have a list such as mine...

@alasdair91 This is what I don't get about Nintendo... They want to encourage digital purchases, but their pricing scheme pushes most people away due to being more expensive with no added bonus...

@DoctorOverbuild heh heh... See why I made sure that I ordered two of each about a fortnight ago? =)

@DoctorOverbuild Hey. I have had all of these ordered twice for a fortnight now.

@A01 I am wondering about them as well as they are literally the three figures that I need to complete THAT collection 200%.

@Grumblevolcano I thought that was GAME's specific stock? lol

@GammaPhonic It is available at GAME.co.uk still.

@johnodaz It is available at GAME.co.uk if you still want it?

@RupeeClock I know right... =) <---- Smiley from my favourite Undertale character

@RupeeClock heh heh... Nintendo Life's a bit late...
I have had all of these new Splatoon amiibo pre-ordered twice over since May 12, 2016. xD
